Chapter 158: Not going to jail is more painful
Qin Zeming said with disgust on his face, "Give up the idea of marrying Duan Lingling. Look at what she did. Do you think we would marry a woman who will go to jail?"
"Lingling doesn't have to go to jail anymore. Don't make excuses for going to jail."
Qin Zeming sneered, "Just because she doesn't have to go to jail doesn't mean she's innocent. Who would dare to marry a lunatic like her? Who knows if she'll go crazy again and kill someone again? Anyway, I will never marry Duan Lingling in this life, and don't even think about giving birth to a child to threaten me. I don't accept it now, and I will never accept it in my life."
"So, tell Duan Lingling that it would be best for her to abort the child."
Duan Gang and Duan Renjie were helpless in the face of Qin Zeming's ruthlessness and could only go to Duan Lingling in shame.
Duan Lingling didn't expect that even though she was pregnant, Qin Zeming still refused to marry her. He even said that the child was not his and would not acknowledge it even if it was born, asking her to abort it.
"Have you looked for his grandparents? Look for him! They must want a grandchild!"
"It's useless to look for him. They can't force him to marry." Duan Gang's face was gloomy. "It's a pity that they say they are a medical family. How disgusting!"
Duan Renjie was annoyed. "What's the point of saying all this? We can't force them to marry. What should we do now? Do you want to keep the child? The doctor said it's not in good condition."
They went to find Qin Zeming to take responsibility and concealed a fact, which was that the doctor said Duan Lingling's condition was too bad, resulting in the child not being that healthy either. She could miscarry at any time, and the baby might not be healthy if born. From a doctor's point of view, it was recommended not to have the child.
But how could Duan Lingling give up this child and go to jail? "Of course!"
Whether Qin Zeming wants it or not, she will keep the child. No one can force her to abort it anyway, so she will give birth to the child no matter what, and would rather die than go to jail.
Moreover, this child is also a bargaining chip. Duan Lingling's eyes are full of hatred. Qin Zeming cannot recognize the child now, but he will have to recognize it even if he doesn't want to after it is born.
"I will make you regret this. My child will be fine and will be smart and clever when he is born."
Duan Lingling lowered her head and looked at her belly with love in her eyes. This child was her lucky one. He came when she was desperate and saved her life. After the child was born, it was entirely possible that Qin Zeming's attitude would be changed, and she would marry into the Qin family because of the status of having a son.
Qin Zeming also knew about the child's condition. When he heard the doctor's suggestion to abort the baby, he knew that the situation was very bad. Seeing that Duan Lingling didn't listen, Qin Zeming couldn't help but go to see Duan Lingling and asked her not to abort the baby so stubbornly.
But Duan Lingling didn't listen at all. "The child is in my belly, what do you care? Didn't you say it's not yours? Then what does it have to do with you whether I beat you or not?"
Qin Zeming left in a rage, but in fact, looking at Duan Lingling's confident look, one could tell that the child was his.
On the one hand, Duan Lingling was uncooperative, and on the other hand, Grandpa Qin and the others were hospitalized again. These events one after another made Grandpa Qin look several years older. Qin Zeming was in great pain and decided never to drink again.
Qin Zeming was extremely worried and felt even more miserable when he thought of Gu Qing.
Gu Qingshi no longer cared about him because of what happened before. If Duan Lingling was pregnant and had this child, how would Qingshi look at him? For a while, Qin Zeming didn't dare to appear in front of Gu Qingshi, and he usually avoided Gu Qingshi in the hospital.
And his choice was undoubtedly correct. Gu Qingshi didn't want to see her at all. Seeing that Duan Lingling actually escaped from prison, Gu Qingshi was very angry.
But soon, Gu Qingshi was no longer angry, because Duan Lingling did not live a good life just by escaping prison. Although she did not go to jail, what she did had spread everywhere, especially after she became pregnant.
Being pointed at and criticized in the hospital was just the beginning. The torture began when he returned home. Many insulting words were written on the walls of Duan's house with paint and charcoal, including words like slut, bitch, pregnant before marriage, and shameless. There was garbage everywhere in front of the house.
Bai Zhen was also discharged from the hospital and went home on the first day. In fact, she shouldn't have been discharged since she was not well enough, but Duan Gang refused to pay her, and she had no money to stay in the hospital so she had to be discharged. She was already in a very bad mood because of this, and she almost suffocated when she saw it.
Duan Lingling, who also hadn't fully recovered, also gasped and vomited out of disgust. She almost vomited and was about to curse, but before she could open her mouth, she was hit all over the head and face by rotten vegetable leaves.
This smash completely started Duan Lingling's hellish life. The neighbors who once smiled at her and watched her grow up, or who grew up with her, all changed their attitudes, and started to curse her with rotten vegetable leaves.
Fearing that their family’s existence would affect the neighborhood’s reputation, the neighbors hoped that the Duan family would leave, or at least Duan Lingling would not come back, lest she harm their own son and teach girls bad habits.
Duan Lingling got angry at first, but soon she couldn't open her mouth because of the stench all over her body, so she had to hide at home.
Even if she hid inside, the neighbors did not stop. They continued to insult her outside. As soon as Duan Lingling showed her head, the children would throw stones and dirty things at her. The neighbors did not throw their garbage into the trash can but threw it into their house. Duan's house was smelly and dirty everywhere.
Duan Gang, Duan Renjie and Bai Zhen all had long faces and looked at Duan Lingling with unfriendly eyes. If she hadn't coaxed Duan Gang with nice words, saying that she would definitely marry into the Qin family after the child was born, or at worst could use the child to force the Qin family to pay money, which would then be given to Duan Gang, she would have temporarily stabilized Duan Gang. Otherwise, Duan Lingling would have been kicked out of the house long ago.
But not kicking her out doesn't mean they can be nice to her. Duan Gang and the others' attitude towards her is completely different from before.
Bai Zhen was disfigured and she was angry at her, thinking it was all because of her. After being good mother and daughter for more than ten years, their relationship was completely torn apart. There was no longer any concern and care from her as before. Bai Zhen no longer did housework, and did not take care of her because she was pregnant. It was completely different from what Duan Lingling expected.
Duan Lingling wanted to complain, but Duan Gang and Duan Renjie didn't want to see her horrible face. They were impatient to listen to her and ignored them at all. All they did all day was ask for this and that and order her to do work. Duan Lingling started doing housework for the first time in her life.
She had to wash clothes, cook, and mop the floor. It seemed like there was endless work to do all day long. She worked so hard but still got scolded. She seemed to have become Gu Qingshi, working like a slave in the Duan family and still not feeling well. Duan Lingling was in a trance and felt that this was not the life she should live.
Duan Lingling didn't know how she became the former Gu Qingshi, but her physical condition was extremely bad. When she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that she needed to supplement her nutrition, rest and stay in bed, so that the baby could be saved.
But she simply couldn't do what the doctor said. She needed to do a lot of things every day, and her body had not been well taken care of before, so she had a strong reaction to the pregnancy. She felt dizzy, weak, had loss of appetite, cramps, and occasional pain in her lower abdomen. She also had frequent and severe nausea and vomiting, even to the point of vomiting as soon as she ate.
